"Lovely hotel. Very close to main centre and all attractions except the city of arts and the beach, but it is easy to cycle everywhere. There are lots of places to hire bicycles from at a reasonable price. Would be nice to have a kettle in the room."

Bar prices are very high though and the jack Daniels I ordered tasted like it had been watered down a tad and theres no wifi in the room but its free around the large and well decorated lobby areas but these are minor grumbles and I did enjoy my stay there and yes I would go back for the money I paid

Sorry, Chris Harrison. This isn't the most exciting Men Tell All special ever. It is, however, probably one of the more entertaining episodes of the season.

Bachelorette fans may not need spoilers to figure out who JoJo Fletcher picks this season.

My question is very simple to expose:
I have a few aplications that share data between then. I need a way to support that data sharing (cross several computers) and when one aplication changes data, others should be notified about that.
My question is about what tecnologies could be usefull to me. The solution i realise at this moment is to have a database to share data and an external publish-subscribe system (like http://pubsub.codeplex.com/) to notify all applications when the data is changed. But i belive that could exist some helpfull solutions.
Do you know any of then? Thanks.

FRIDAY FUNNY: Ditch The Denim—Dust Off The Tux?
Some employees are taking the concept of dressing up to the extreme, sporting top hats and their "Sunday best" on Fridays. For them, the idea is to break the monotony of flip flops and flannel; some West Coast companies also like to do it in order to surprise East Coast guests who may be visiting for a meeting.
FRIDAY FUNNY: Ditch The Denim—Dust Off The Tux?
According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, the latest workplace trend reinforces the Mark Twain expression*, "Clothes make the man" (or the woman). Yes indeed, some companies have instituted an paradoxically informal dress code that "suggests" employees don more formal attire for Fridays.
In tech sector cities on the West Coast—where casual Fridays have morphed into casual every day of the week—Formal Fridays are all the rage. And as Andy Jordan writes in the WSJ, "Even Facebook, whose chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, took the hoodie and T-shirt uniform to new heights, has a design team that often dresses up for what has come to be known as 'Corporate Friday,' a team tradition that dates back to as early as 2005."
There are instances where employees are taking the concept of dressing up to the extreme, sporting top hats and their "Sunday best" on Fridays. For those who embrace their inner Bogey and Bacall, the idea is to break the monotony of flip flops and flannel; some West Coast companies also like to do it in order to surprise East Coast guests who may be visiting for a meeting.
Jordan continues,
Ravi Mikkelsen, chief executive of San Francisco startup jobFig, a software company that predicts job candidates' compatibility with a particular team, tends to agree. When employees of his company dress up on some Fridays, "I feel like a banker…and I want to produce."
For jobFig, instituting even a semiregular Formal Friday was a way to introduce some cohesiveness in a company with no formal office, he says."
One style maven is happy to see hipsters stepping up their sartorial game. "These people are not in college anymore. They need to look like adults," says Lydia Ramsey, a Savannah, GA business-etiquette expert and author of the book, "Manners That Sell."
Ramsey says she is excited to see more companies putting the A-game back in their dress and believes employees are more productive when they dress in formal attire.
But Friday Fancy Dress is not just a West Coast fad. Some companies on the East Coast and around the country are embracing the trend as well.
Jen Doll of The Atlantic Wire writes, "The point is, Formal Fridays are a thing now, employees pulling out their old prom dresses or 'Sunday best' to be super cool—and different, but the same—in their finest."
As for me? I'm wearing jeans today. Oh well. I'm so uncool.

Love the reversal. Sent the article to Company CEO who forwarded it to everyone in the company.
I hope this takes off here in Sydney, board shorts and a T shirt is pushing the boundary by some, whom take casual Friday to new levels. Its difficult to take them seriously. Looking forward to formal Friday evenings to complement the formal Friday at the office.

Longtime lovers of traditional design, the Bells decided to take a leap of faith when they first met with the late architect Ligon Flynn. âWe knew we wanted something different,â says Jackie. âIt was paramount for us to live simply at the beach, without all the extra trappings or upkeep.

The Orlando Sentinel

Email this story.
Just close your eyes and keep your mind wide open.
Its the heroines credo in Bridge to Terabithia, a smart and bittersweet tale of growing up and that one friend who gets you, who helps you look at the world in a different way.
But its also good advice to a moviegoer who sees the film of that 1977 classic novel for tweens. The movie isnt a perfect realization of Katherine Patersons book. It rubs the rough edges off some characters, over-emphasizes the fantastical and loses some of its wonderful themes in the process.
But it rings true. And that novel with heart, about a rural fifth-grader who loves to draw, and the imaginative, sophisticated city girl who moves across the road, becomes a fanciful, emotional and entertaining movie, the latest coup from the studio that brought us Charlottes Web and Holes Walden Media.
Josh Hutcherson, of RV and Zathura, is Jess, the farm-kid with a cow to milk, chickens to feed and vegetables to tend. What he really wants to do is draw, something he has to hide from his disapproving father (Robert Patrick, professional disapprover).
Jess longs to make his presence felt, as the fastest kid in school, he hopes. Then, the tomboyishly cute Leslie (AnnaSophia Robb of Because of Winn-Dixie) shows up, and shows him up on the track.
But shes irrepressible, and they soon become friends, friends who need a place they can call their own. Its an island in the middle of a creek, a place you can only reach with a rope swing. Leslie names it Terabithia, and she and Jess decide it is a magical place, and imagine battles against its villains (tree trolls, monstrous squirrels, hideous crows) when theyre not in school together.
Life, the family trying to make ends meet, the terrors kids sometimes feel over religion at that age, and that first taste of heartbreaking loss and grief all disappear in Terabithia. Middle school is a war zone. There are bullies to be confronted, or tricked, and teachers to be either feared or swoon over.
Zooey Deschanel, in one adorable bit of casting, is the hippie-ish music teacher Jess has given his 11-year-old-heart to. Shes not making the kids learn Kum Ba Ya. Shes singing them Shawn Colvin songs, and Wars Why Cant We Be Friends?
Terabithia is being sold by Disney as another Narnia-style fantasy, when really, the fantasy is more a symbolic subtext here. This is about guilt, how you can misjudge people, grief, and childrens cruel and funny ways.
Youre lucky to have a sister, Leslie tells Jess, whose adoring little sis, Maybelle (Bailee Madison), is always tagging along.
Yeah? I got four ofem, and Id tradeem all for a good dog, Jess fires back.
The director here, Gabor Csupo, has worked mostly in animation, but he keeps this picture emotionally true to the novel even as hes giving us a healthy taste of special-effects trolls. Hutcherson, stripped of the Southern-accent the character has in the book, doesnt make the strongest impression. But Robb, so wan and disappointing when she had to carry Because of Winn-Dixie, is maturing into a fiesty, Keira Knightley-cute spitfire, at least as shes showcased here.
Walden Medias goal to make transitional movies for young filmgoers aging out of animation and kiddie comedies is saving movie-going for another generation. Theyre not going to produce a Charlottes Web or a Holes every time out. But Terabithia suggests that after misfires from Hoot to How to Eat Fried Worms, they may have found their voice. Thats good news for the movies, and the kids who see them.

On site we have 3 properties, all with wi-fi in the living areas. The sandstone steading building is in an L shape with the long part of the 'L' housing the 3 bedroom property, Outfield, and the shorter part of the 'L' housing the 2 bedroom property, Pitmiddle. These properties are therefore semi-detached and these 2 properties can be used as one large property when the interconnecting door is unlocked (this gives you a large 5 bedroom cottage called Pitfield).
Also on site backing on to Pitmiddle you have the detached 1 bedroom cottage Honeysuckle.
All guests are able to have shared use of the on site tennis court and games room. The surrounding garden area around Pitmiddle Outfield and Honeysuckle is not fenced. The properties are on a very small farm accessed via a farm road.
We have tried to be as environmentally friendly as we can with our holiday houses. When we converted Pitmiddle and Outfield from farm buildings into accommodation we kept the same footprint so some stables are now bedrooms! We have used reclaimed wooden flooring and the houses are powered by a geothermal ground source heat pump. Our water supply comes off the hill and is filtered in our water treatment area before going to the houses. All our fixtures and fittings are sourced locally.
In order to increase our green credentials even more we are now excited to announce that we have just put up a small 18 m wind turbine on the hill behind the holiday houses. It is only an 11 kw turbine but we hope that after its first year we will have generated enough kw hours to cover our on site electrical needs.
Meals: If you wish to order a meal for your first night or indeed for any of the days you are with us please contact the owner and she can put you in touch with our recommended cook.
I live on site with my family in The Farmhouse. I was born and brought up in Scotland. Property is my business and these holiday rentals are part of that business. I work from home so am delighted to bump into guests and have a chat! Feel free to ask about things to see and do in the area or further afield. You will spot me walking my unruly dogs!
Suki Stobbs purchased this cottage in 1996
We moved to this location from Fife as it was half way between Perth and Dundee where we had business interests We wanted great views and country location. In fact the location is a winner for most people who come here - some want proximity to Dundee, others want easy access to Edinburgh and others want to be able to get to St. Andrews and all of the golf courses over in Fife. We took a few years to convert an old farm steading into the holiday cottages called Pitmiddle and Outfield. We are delighted with the result and opened for business way back in 2005, can't believe it is that long ago. Honeysuckle always existed as a little bothy so we decorated it in the same colours and promoted it from a long term rental to a holiday let.
We have tried to cover every eventuality offering a 1 bedroom cottage, 2 bedroom cottage, 3 bedroom cottage or the 2 joined together to give a 5 bedroom cottage.
As you walk around up here you have the most fantastic views towards Abernyte village, The River Tay and King's Seat. You feel on top of the world - almost alpine (especially in the snow!). All guests can use the summer house above the tennis court and take in the rolling countryside around us. We are however only 20 minutes by car to either Dundee or Perth city centres.
We are trying hard to be green - you will spot our new wind turbine which we hope will cover our electricity costs - it's only a little one but we have high hopes! All properties have reclaimed wooden flooring and use a soak away drainage system. We also have our own private water supply with its water treatment room where the water is constantly filtered and backwashed daily. Pitmiddle and Outfield also benefit from underfloor heating powered by the ground source heat pump in Outfield.
We hope too you will enjoy the animals round about. We have our own alpacas and hens and in the summer our neighbouring farmer puts some of his sheep in 1 of our fields. We do also provide satellite wifi for our guests which is now something I believe people come to expect. Help yourselves to logs, they all come from here.
Beautiful scenery, comfy beds with nice sheets, walks right out side the front door, lovely house owners, well stocked kitchen. Overall great experience. I'll definitely be coming back.
Well situated property with nice outlook. Convenient for Perthshire exploration and only one minor problem which was rapidly dealt with.
Sehr sauberes, schön renoviertes Cottage. Ruhige, idyllische Lage. Ansprechende, gemütliche Einrichtung; gehobene Ausstattung (z. B. Geschirrspüler, Thermostaten an Duschen, Fussbodenheizung). Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten für Teenager: Tenniscourt, Fussballwiese, Tischtennis, Billard, DVD Ausleihe. Zentraler Ausgangspunkt für vielfältige Touren. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Very nice house. Lots of space, beautiful view. The children loved the new tennis court.
Perfectly situated in the quit contryside yet close to the highway to Edinburg, Perth and Dundee.
I strongly recommend this place.
Situato in un piacevole e tranquillo contesto rurale. Prossimo a Dundee, dove si possono trovare supermarket e svariati servizi.
All'interno il cottage è spazioso, con cucina ben attrezzata.
Ci risulta essere discretamente pulito.
I proprietari ci sono apparsi non troppo accoglienti e non così flessibili riguardo ai giorni e orari di arrivo, come invece è indicato nella descrizione.
Das Ferienhaus ist sehr gepflegt und gut ausgestattet und entspricht in allen Punkten der Beschreibung. Auch das Spiel-Haus (Billard, Tischtennis, Dart), das den Bewohnern der drei Ferienhäuser zur Verfügung steht, ist in einem Superzustand. Die Lage ist ideal für Tagesausflüge. Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt und können Pitmiddle uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.
This property is on a small farm in The Carse of Gowrie only a mile from Abernyte. We are 20 minutes from Dundee city centre and 20 minutes (by car) from Perth city centre. Although rural we are about 7 minutes by car to the dual carriageway and then it is an hour to Edinburgh or an hour and a bit to the outskirts of Glasgow or within an hour you are up in the Highlands. Golf in Blairgowrie is 20 minutes away or golf in St. Andrews is 40 minutes away. Fishing in nearby lochs or on The River Tay is all within easy reach.
Other Activities: Shared table tennis and pool table on site as will as tennis court and walking
Golf: Blairgowrie golf course is within a 20 minute drive, it has the superb Rosemount and Landsdowne courses as well as the Wee Course. Visitor rates can be found on their website.

As Congress August recess nears, lawmakers are moving tax legislation for individuals and businesses. Bills targeted to tax reform, small business tax relief, and more have been introduced and are working their way to votes in the House and Senate. Congress is also grappling with the IRS's budget for fiscal year (FY) 2017.
As Congress' August recess nears, lawmakers are moving tax legislation for individuals and businesses. Bills targeted to tax reform, small business tax relief, and more have been introduced and are working their way to votes in the House and Senate. Congress is also grappling with the IRS's budget for fiscal year (FY) 2017.
Tax Reform
Just before recessing for the Independence Day holiday, House Republicans unveiled a tax reform blueprint. Since January, the House Ways and Means Committee has been exploring different approaches to tax reform. House Ways and Means Chair Kevin Brady, R-Texas, outlined six principles for tax reform:
The GOP blueprint would consolidate the individual tax rates into three brackets (12, 25 and 33 percent). Additionally, the blueprint would repeal the alternative minimum tax (AMT). The blueprint also calls for a simplified return for individuals.
For businesses, the blueprint would lower the top corporate tax rate to 20 percent. The blueprint also would create a new 25 percent business tax rate for small businesses organized as sole proprietorships or pass-through entities. Tax rates on capital gains and dividends also would be reduced.
House Republicans said they will spend the remainder of 2016 developing the blueprint into legislative proposals. While Republicans likely have enough votes to pass the proposals in the House, they lack the 60 votes needed to pass tax legislation in the Senate. Congress will also be on recess during most of August. Democratic lawmakers in both the House and Senate have been cool to the GOP's tax reform proposals.
Small businesses
Many small businesses have traditionally provided a health benefit to their employees through a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). Following passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the IRS determined that these should be treated as employer payment plans subject to market reforms under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Failure to comply with the ACA's market reforms triggers excise taxes. The IRS provided transition relief (Notice 2015-17) from the penalties but the relief has expired.
In June, the House approved the Small Business Health Care Relief Act, (HR 5447), intended to provide permanent relief for small employers. Under the legislation, small employers (employers with less than 50-full-time and full-time equivalent employees) would be able to have stand-alone HRAs and reimburse expenses without violating the ACA's market reforms. A similar bill has been introduced in the Senate, which could take up the bill before July 4.
Energy tax policy
Both leaders of the Senate Finance Committee (Orrin Hatch, R-Utah and Ron Wyden, D-Oregon) have taken an interest in simplifying energy tax incentives. The Senate Finance Committee held a hearing in June to examine the role taxation plays in energy policy. Wyden reiterated his proposal to consolidate the more than 40 separate energy tax credits and deductions into as few as three. The incentives, Wyden explained, would be built around three goals: energy, cleaner transportation, and energy efficiency. Wyden also noted that many of the energy incentives extended by the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (PATH Act) were only extended temporarily.
In related energy news, the House approved in June a resolution signaling opposition to President Obama's proposal to impose a $10 fee on every barrel of oil produced. The House also passed a resolution opposing the White House's proposed carbon tax, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The ACA made a significant change to the individual deduction for medical expenses. After December 31, 2012, the threshold to claim an itemized deduction for unreimbursed medical expenses increased from 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income (AGI) to 10 percent of AGI for regular income tax purposes. The ACA did carve out a temporary exception for senior citizens. In June, the House Ways and Means Committee approved legislation to resurrect the pre-ACA rules. The Halt Tax Increases on the Middle Class and Seniors Act (HR 3590) would replace the current 10 percent threshold with the old 7.5 percent threshold for all taxpayers.
IRS Budget
The IRS's current fiscal year is scheduled to end after September 30, 2016. In June, House appropriators unveiled a $10.9 billion budget for the agency for FY 2017. The bill cuts overall funding for the IRS but includes an additional $290 million to improve customer service, fraud prevention and cybersecurity. Senate appropriators, meanwhile, have proposed to fund the IRS at $11.2 billion for FY 2017.

Phased retirement has become an increasingly popular trend lately. Along with its increased use, however, a number of questions have arisen. The IRS recently has issued guidance for determining the taxable portion of payments made to an employee during phased retirement. The guidance explains whether the payments are "received as an annuity" under Code Sec. 72 and how to determine the taxable portion of payments that are not received as an annuity.
Phased Retirement
Phased retirement is an arrangement where an employee (the "participant") in a qualified defined benefit plan elects to keep working on a part-time basis, rather than completely retire and take full benefits. The employer and the employee agree that an employee will work part-time for a specified period. However, the parties may agree at any time to change the period of part-time employment.
During phased retirement, the employer pays the participant a portion of his or her full retirement benefits, in the form of a single life annuity. At the same time, the employee continues to earn additional retirement benefits and to make additional contributions. The guidance provides an example where the employee in phased retirement works 40 percent of his full-time schedule. During part-time employment, the employee receives payments equal to 60 percent of the employee's benefit at full retirement. Thus, for example, an employee who would be entitled to a single life annuity of $2,000 a month at full retirement would receive $1,200 a month during part-time employment.
When the part-time employee terminates all employment, the employee begins to receive an annuity based on full retirement. The employee's total retirement benefit equals the monthly benefit paid during phased retirement, increased by a cost-of-living adjustment and an additional amount.
Non-Annuity Payments
Under Code Sec. 72(e), amounts not received as an annuity are excluded from gross income if allocated to investment in the contract. Code Sec. 72(e)(8) provides for the pro rata recovery of the employee's contributions. The ratio of the investment in the contract to the vested account balance (the "basis recovery fraction") determines the nontaxable portion of each payment.
A plan's obligations to the employee at full retirement may not be fixed and determinable for an employee receiving phased retirement payments, if: the plan's obligations depend on the employee's continued part-time employment; the employee will not receive full retirement benefits until ceasing employment at an undetermined time; and the employee can elect a distribution option at full retirement. If these conditions apply, the payments made during phased retirement are not received as an annuity. As a result, the taxable and excludible portions of the payments must be determined under Code Sec. 72(e)(8), by applying the basis recovery fraction to each phased retirement payment.
The IRS recently released its Spring 2016 Statistics of Income (SOI) Bulletin containing a treasure-trove of useful information. The bulletin contains data gleaned from more than 148 million individual income tax returns filed for the 2014 tax year (TY). The data for 2014 reveal a corresponding increase in tax liability across all tax brackets. The SOI bulletin presents the most recent figures available for the 2014 tax year from various tax and information returns filed by U.S. taxpayers. In addition, the report compares the data to similar statistics measured in 2013. In general, the latest report shows a continued improvement in the national economy, year over year.
Tax Changes in 2014
Many effects felt by taxpayers in 2014 were extensions of tax law changes implemented in CY 2013. In TY 2014, the inflation-adjusted caps for each income tax bracket were raised, which meant that taxpayers whose income did not increase significantly from the previous year may have fallen into a lower tax bracket. The alternative minimum tax experienced a slight increase.
As was the case in 2015 when the Bush-era tax cuts officially expired, the top tax rate for taxpayers remained at 39.6 percent. Taxpayers making more than $200,000, or $250,000 for married taxpayers, were subjected to a Medicare surtax of 0.9 percent. "Pease limitations," which place limitations on certain higher-income taxpayers, remained in effect for 2014. In addition, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act affected many taxpayers by imposing a "shared responsibility payment' for taxpayers who did not have health insurance in 2014.
Income Tax
According to the Spring 2016 bulletin, the number of individual income tax returns filed for tax year 2014 increased from the previous year for a total of 148.7 million, reflecting a 0.6 percent increase. Adjusted gross income (AGI) increased from $9.1 trillion to $9.7 trillion. Taxable income rose 8.0 percent to $6.9 trillion. The alternative minimum tax experienced a 9.4 percent increase, for a total of $24.6 billion. The bulletin reported that total income tax and total tax liability both increased by 10 percent to $1.4 trillion.
In addition, the preliminary data for 2014 show that taxable income increased 8.0 percent to $6.9 trillion. The IRS reported that the average AGI on all 2014 individual income tax returns was $65,021, and average taxable income was $61,328, both representing increases from the 2013 amounts, by 5.4 percent and 6.1 percent respectively.
Tax Liability
The IRS's preliminary data indicate that total tax liability for the 2014 tax year rose to $1.4 trillion owed, as reflected on more than 101 million returns. This figure increased from the $1.3 trillion reported for some 98.8 million returns filed in TY 2013. Although total tax liability increased for all income categories, taxpayers with adjusted gross income of $250,000 or more experienced the steepest percent change in tax liability, with a 15.9% increase from 2013 to 2014 (calculated from the $622.2 billion owed for 2013 versus the $721.2 billion owed for 2014), the IRS reported. Overall, total tax liability increased by 10 percent over 2013's figure, for a total of $1.4 trillion.
The increase in tax liability is likely the result of continued growth in capital gains distribution. For TY 2014, the capital gains distribution rose to nearly $79 billion, up nearly 75% from TY 2013's $45.2 billion. In addition, net capital gains increased 34.4 percent to $586.5 billion. The amount of net capital gains reported on tax returns with $250,000 or more in adjusted gross income increased by $120.89 billion (from $323.42 billion for 2013 to $444.31 billion for 2014).
The continued increase in net capital gains may have likely contributed to the increase in the number of taxpayers in the highest tax brackets, which may, in part, explain the overall increase in tax liability between 2013 and 2014. For example, the preliminary data for 2014 indicates that there were 431,477 more taxpayers in the $250,000 and up income category who reported net capital gains than there were for 2013. In addition, the corresponding increase in taxpayers for the $200,000 to $250,000 income category was 273,322 for 2014. The data show that all income categories, except that for AGI from $30,000 to under $50,000, experienced an increase in the number of tax returns reporting net capital gains.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) imposed an excise tax on the sale of certain medical devices by the manufacturer or importer of the device. The tax is 2.3 percent. Under the ACA, the excise tax was effective for the sale of medical devices after December 31, 2012. The tax is now under a two year moratorium.
Medical devices
The IRS has issued rules and regulations that describe what constitutes a taxable medical device. The references are geared to language in the federal Food and Drug Act. For individuals, it is important to remember that many consumer medical devices are excluded from the tax. Expressly excluded under the ACA are eyeglasses, contact lenses and hearing aids. IRS rules and regulations also create a "retail exemption" for medical devices that are commonly purchased by consumers. These include items such as crutches, bandages, wheelchairs, and portable oxygen machines.
The manufacturer or importer is responsible for reporting and paying the tax. The IRS generally treats the manufacturer as the business that produces the medical device. An importer is the business that brings a medical device into the U.S.
In December 2015, Congress voted to temporarily suspend the excise tax. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 imposes a two year moratorium on the excise tax. As a result, the excise tax will not apply to the sale of a medical device during the period beginning on January 1, 2016, and ending on December 31, 2017.
Manufacturers and importers use Form 720 to report sales of taxable medical devices. The IRS has explained that during the moratorium, manufacturers and importers are not required to file Form 720 to report sales of taxable medical devices for quarters during 2016 and 2017. Manufacturers and importers may make adjustments to previously-reported medical device excise tax liability and/or file claims for credit or refund during the moratorium. Additionally, a manufacturer or importer may file Form 720X to claim a refund of the amount of medical device excise tax remitted to the IRS for sales of taxable medical devices during the moratorium.
Further, the IRS has explained that the moratorium has no effect on medical device excise tax liability incurred before the moratorium. Therefore audits related to such liability will continue during the moratorium.
The medical device excise tax will apply to sales of taxable medical devices made after December 31, 2017. Taxpayers will be required to report sales of taxable medical devices made during the first quarter of 2018 on Form 720 by April 30, 2018.
Please contact our office if you have any questions about the medical device excise tax.
A taxpayer changing its method of accounting must either request advance IRS consent or apply for automatic IRS consent on Form 3115, Application for Change in Accounting Method, to make the change. Automatic consent is more favorable because the taxpayer can request the change on its return filed after the year it makes the change. A taxpayer requesting automatic consent must submit Form 3115 by the due date of the return for the year of the change. Recent IRS actions indicate that a taxpayer who fails to make a timely request for a change of accounting method may qualify for an extension of time to request the change.
In 2013, the IRS issued "repair regs" that determine whether a taxpayer must capitalize or can deduct its costs related to the use of tangible property. To take advantage of the treatment provided in the regs, taxpayers often had to change their accounting methods. The IRS provided automatic consent for taxpayers to change their methods of accounting to comply with the repair regs.
Regulatory Elections
If a taxpayer fails to make a "regulatory" election on time, the IRS has discretion to grant an extension of time for making the election. A regulatory election is whose deadline is established by the IRS in regulations or other guidance, in contrast to an election whose deadline is set by statute. A taxpayer must submit a private letter request asking for an IRS ruling that grants relief. The IRS will grant relief only if it is satisfied that the taxpayer acted reasonably and in good faith when it failed to make a timely election, and that granting an extension will not prejudice the government.
Extensions Granted
The IRS has granted extensions of time to several taxpayers who missed the deadline for requesting automatic IRS consent to change a method of accounting under the repair regs. The IRS gave the taxpayer an additional 60 days (after the IRS issued the favorable letter ruling) to make the election.
In one sample ruling request, the taxpayer (a corporation) was required to submit the original of Form 3115 with its timely income tax return filed for the year of change, and to provide a copy of the Form 3115 to the IRS in Ogden, Utah. The taxpayer's return preparer timely e-filed the taxpayer's Form 1120, prepared Form 3115, and submitted a copy of the form to Ogden. However, the preparer inadvertently failed to scan the Form 3115 and include it with the taxpayer's return. The preparer discovered the omission and the taxpayer applied for an extension. The IRS granted the taxpayer an additional 60 days to elect the change of accounting method permitted under the repair regs.

Joyce Brookshire should not be played on CD. She should be played on an old crank-powered phonograph, in all its popping and hissing glory. For listening to Brookshire is like going to your grandmother's country home, sitting on her front porch swing with some hot chocolate, and staring up at her in awe as she and a few friends recount tales of their lives with the use of fiddles, piano, banjo and guitar.
Cabbagetown Ballad is essentially Brookshire's life put to music. The folksinger and activist was born and raised in Atlanta's Cabbagetown Mill Village. On the CD, she sings lovingly of the mountain folk who first emigrated there (the title track), and spits sweet fire on those who wish to gentrify it today ("Urban Pioneer"). Along the way, she decries war, pays homage to the homeless, and sings of love lost and found. It's the usual folkie terrain, but it's sung with the sincerity of someone who has lived it.
As wonderful as her stories are, it's the music that makes this release stand out. The Reel World String Band knows just when to add a touch of fiddle, guitar or piano to complement Brookshire's beautifully flat vocals. Trust me, you'll want to hear your grandma tell you stories of yesteryear after listening to this tiny gem.
Joyce Brookshire and the Reel World String Band play the Pine Lake Clubhouse, Sat., Dec. 3, 8 p.m. $7. 300 Clubhouse Drive, Pine Lake. 404-297-8398.

Which compiles to faster code: "ans = n * 3" or "ans = n+(n*2)"?
Assuming that n is either an int or a long, and it is is running on a modern Win32 Intel box.
Would this be different if there was some dereferencing involved, that is, which of these would be faster?
long a; long *pn; long ans; ... *pn = some_number; ans = *pn * 3;
ans = *pn+(*pn*2);
Or, is it something one need not worry about as optimizing compilers are likely to account for this in any case?

OTS pays the price of failure
The signing into law of the landmark Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on July 21 finally puts in motion a package of reforms first circulated on Capitol Hill in August last year. As market participants look to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Securities and Exchange Commission to flesh out the finer details of the rules, the end is nigh for another federal regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), which will be broken up within one year.

Skip to comments.Employers Drop Insurance Over Obamacare
Posted on 06/12/2011 5:16:27 AM PDT by Kaslin
McKinsey & Co., the high profile global business consulting firm, surveyed 1300 businesses and found that "30 percent of employers will definitely or probably stop offering [employer-sponsored insurance] in the years after 2014."
That's the year that the full impact of ObamaCare is scheduled to kick in. Several other surveys have reached similar conclusions.
Another study found that among businesses with a "high awareness" of what ObamaCare is all about, more than half are planning to drop health care insurance benefits for their workers.
The result spells death to private insurance and life to nationalized healthcare just as conservatives predicted.
ObamaCare requires employers with more than 50 employees to provide insurance for their employees or face a $2000 fine.
Many employers are quick to conclude that they are better off to pay the fine than the escalating premium costs.
AT&T calculated that dropping coverage and paying the penalty will save them $1.8 billion annually.
That makes the decision pretty obvious.
Millions of the workers cut loose will be forced to shop within the government blessed "exchanges" and will be eligible based on income levels for generous taxpayer funded premium subsidies.
Democrats know how to buy votes with taxpayer's money or even worse, with debt. ObamaCare makes subsidies available up to 400% of poverty level income.
The phony budget projections used to sell ObamaCare were based on just 2.5 percent of workers with current employer provided plans to switch not 30 or even 50 percent!
The real resulting impact to the federal treasury will be in the trillions according to former budget officials Douglas Holtz-Eakin and James Capretta.
That's another big budget buster that Obama and the Democrats kept hidden behind the curtain when they rammed the bill through Congress.
The end of employer provided health insurance benefits and consolidation into government controlled programs is a big step toward government controlled single-payer health care which has long been the not-so-subtle objective all along.
Never mind that the we'll be bankrupt when we get there.
Wait until they find out their benefits will drastically plummet and there won't be enough docs to take care of them...
"We have an opening for an appt with the doctor in 6 months."
Many Medicare doctors are already not accepting new patients.
"i'm sorry, but you don't qualify for knee surgery."
Can you say "Cuba"?
"It is cheaper to pay the penalty than to offer insurance."
Conservatives read that and see the suicidal path this legislation places us on.
Liberals read that and see how greedy insurance companies and our capitastic system are.
Can't have universal until you make everyone uninsured.
Conservatives will read that and see how greedy Liberals are.
Actually 100 percent of employers will drop medical insurance when massive inflation kicks in. Companies with ERISA Self-funded plans cannot afford the base cost exposure and the stop loss insurance premiums. Companies with ERISA Fully-insured simply cannot afford the premiums. As a result, everybody will be dumped on ObamaCare, health care will become fully nationalized, and then it will eventually collapse, and I will have achieved my greatest accomplishment.
If that doesn't get voters to oust congress critter who passed the bill nothing will.No wonder the treat people like sheep.
OK...anyone surprised by this, please raise your hand. The Administration will be around with your next glass of KoolAid, shortly.
This anti-Constitutional plan must be stopped. Quickly. Completely.
The whole purpose of Obamacare is to drive the insurance companies out of business and force a single-payer, government run system.
Has anyone read or heard of anything forceful that hopefully would disabuse me of this negative gut feeling I'm carrying around?
My plan's working so well I've got time for a cheeky round of golf!
I fully expect my company to do this, and my current health insurance which started on Jan 1 of this year is a complete joke, so I expect that in 2014 it will be even a bigger joke.
Yep, a scheme known from the beginning. Obama knows companies will ditch their insurance and pay the fine which is cheaper.
I now effectively have catastrophic health care, thanks to Obamacare. Soon, I doubt if I will have any insurance at all And this is from a large, self-insured company which at one time had excellent benefits.
The good news is that this has turned the younger people here into Republicans. Many liberals can actually read, and virtually none blame "the man", they blame the "O".
One of the many lies used to sell Obamacare was "If you like your insurance, you can keep it." Of course, most people fail to realize that since they don't purchase their insurance, they don't get to make that decision. Their employer does. It also requires that the insurance company can stay in business, and continue to offer your policy.
Of course once all employers drop their insurance and everyone is forced into the Government program, the fine to employers will go up from the current $2000.00 fine to the point where current rates will seem like a bargain.
"The whole purpose of Obamacare is to drive the insurance companies out of business and force a single-payer, government run system."
No - it is collusion between the Insurance Companies and the government. AKA, fascism.
At this point, I would be unsuprised to hear that they had discovered a wonderful new product, Zyklon-B.
Dictator King Obama, being of sick mind, will raise the fine to $100,000. There is no stopping a dictator. He needs more money for his vacations.
I'm sorry, but the GOP has betrayed us. According to a Howell Raines article (keep in mind he's a former editor-in-chief of The New York Times who was put over the side in a notorious reporting scandal, so consider the source) that appeared in Conde Nast Portfolio during its brief publishing career in October 2008, the deal to dump employee health care was already cooked then between Republican policy deepthinkers (they really don't have any -- they're just order-takers for the Chamber of Commerce) and the double-domed Deep Think policy wonks in the upper reaches of the Democratic Party.
If what Raines wrote is true, then John Boehner is deliberately slow-walking any attempt to take out ObamaCare, in order to let the events in this article overtake American voters and let the Democrats have their way.
Because that's what the Republican National Committee wants, too. Because that's what the Chamber types want. And therefore that is the highest desideratum in the GOP. And we're screwed.
Voters? Eff 'em. Money talks.
Of course you are right. In 1994 Newt Gingrich proposed the opposite. He wanted to allow people to take part of their Medicare deductions and put them into either medical savings accounts or buy private insurance. He said that so many people would opt for that plan that Medicare would eventually wither on the vine.
The Democrats and media latched onto that phrase, wither on the vine, and demonized the whole idea as an attempt to "get rid of your Medicare." Of course it was, just as this is an attempt to force universal coverage. To make sure it happens the Obama plan also forces insurance companies to cover all preexisting conditions.
That does two things. It forces high costs on the companies for people who have paid nothing into the plan, thereby destroying the actuarial tables on which the rates are determined, and also the reinsurance business. It would also eliminate existing rate payers who would decide to just wait until they needed insurance before they buy it.
It is a brutally simple way to force national healthcare on everyone. It also exposes Obama's lie that you can keep your present policies if you want.
Next procedure...conscription of doctors. They already tell them how many days a patient can stay in the hospital for any given illness with Medicare.
In Ohio, probably other places too, they now have " Hospitalists"/ doctors who are not your persona; doc, ie, primary care or internist, who work at and for the hospital.
That's who you get once you're in the hospital.
"If that doesnt get voters to oust congress critter who passed the bill nothing will.No wonder the treat people like sheep."
Democrats offer AT&T the option of insuring its employees or paying a $2,000 fine and they call Sarah Palin dumb. she's a genius compared to Obama.
The best chance is SCOTUS declaring it unconstitutional. It may or may not reach them before the 2012 election.
A great fear is, without the high court ruling it unconstitutional, the leviathan may get into a "mend it, don't end it" battle with Democrats. We'd be stuck with it like we've been stuck with all of their other "progressive" experiments for generations now.
If Obama's reelected, we might have to see it "play out" until 2017, when I think it's in full effect. I'd say your pessimism is warranted.
They want to have a talking point to say, 'See, greedy employers hate you! We need single payer and more unions. Progressive gov't is the answer!'
We are still getting our own docs here in TN. At least for now. We use private hospital, not public. What I'm seeing is more of the Nurse Practioner's instead of my Internist, which is ok by me for my regular 6 month check ups and meds as they don't vary.
A couple of days ago I went searching for an affordable eye doctor and to replace two pairs of glasses, one for work and driving the other for home.
I drive a concrete mixer and at 54 years old my eyes are changing, I have been employed at the same job for 16 years, there is no other place within 50 miles that can match the wages and commuting is out of the question as I am in Alaska.
Every place I went to expected me to have health insurance, my job has never had any health insurance plan, the area where I live is Wasilla, Alaska and in the last two years all I have seen sprouting up is more and more doctors and dentists offices being built.
I'm not sure if or its going to work out in the long run but I suspect many businesses that drop insurance will have an effect upon these nearly built offices that were expecting most patients to have insurance.
Most everyone I know cannot afford outside health insurance and we will not support Obamacare.
So unless its different in the lower 48 I predict a massive collapse of the insurance expectations of the new centers and the people will start shopping for the lower pricing.
Thats what I did, and still I had to forgo progressive lens's because they wanted way too much for them.
